Mr. Carson--I have no doubt of your skill as a knifemaker, and your pursuit to create quality, rugged, affordable knives for CRK&T. I know in the past my experience with locking liner folders has not been good.

When I was in a knife shop down in Baltimore while I was on vacation, I looked at your knife, and held it. It had a very good feel. In fact, I commented to the salesman that the action of the blade was nearly as smooth as that of the Sebenza I had just hefted. He agreed and told me they sold a lot of your M-16s, and customers were very happy. My one question is, because I didn't examine it at all, what is the liner like? Is it thick, and strong? I assume it's made from ATS-34 as well, but I could be wrong. If the liner changes from knife to knife, I want to know specifically about the M-16/04, with a tanto blade, combo edge, and aluminum handle.

Thanks! =)

Gator,
The liner in the M16-04 is 420J and it is .053 or so thick. Of the ones that I have carried and tested, I've not had any problems with it. I like the 04 version.
CRK&T does a pretty good job in quality control but I'm sure that one occasionally slips thru the crack. CRK&T does a great job in customer service.
One way to check is do a search in the archives. Alot has been said about the Model 16 series.
Hope I answered your questions.
